Italian March on Egypt Ties in

Herr Hitler'! proposed invasion of England remained in the
mysterious "if" class on this Friday the thirteenth, but over,
night developments tended to strengthen indications that should
he see favorable opening he will once more gamble on the op
portunist's luck which has served him so well heretofore.

those might fit into the picture
of an impending attempt at in-
vasion.
Strategy Sn
It's well-nigh a certainty that
Mussolini would undertake
major operation in Africa to
support Hitler's assault on Eng
land. This strategy would be cal
culated to prevent the British
from withdrawing warships and
airplanes from the Mediterran
ean area for defense of the mo
ther country.
Extensive bombing of the Bri
tish Isles would be an essential
preliminary to invasion. The at
tack on northern Ireland obvi
ously was for the purpose of
causing destructive fires, and
this might mean either that the
Nazis contemplated landings on
the Emerald Isle, or intended to
land on the west coast of Britain

to Invade England
However, this isn't the time
mustn't overlook that while
Mussolini's move is essential to
the success of an invasion of
England, a threat of invasion
would by the same token aid
the Fascist chieftain,
Air Control Weakness
Hitler's weakness and it is
a dangerous one remains his
lack of control of the air. Un.
less he can give the Royal Air
Force a quick smashing, he will
be asking for a mighty spot of
bother if he tries invasion by
water. Still, my feeling is that
his need of victory now is so
pressing that he will make the
gamble if he gets a whisper of
hope from any source.
Even under favorable circum
stances such an assault would be
likely to result in a terrible
slaughter of the attacking
forces. It shouldn't be forgot
ten that this represents one of
the most difficult military-naval
operations of all time, and the
advent of air warfare has fur
ther complicated it.
The troops which go down to
the English Channel In the ar
mada of barges and other small
boats will first off encounter j
I the swirling, shifting tidal cur
rents of one of the world's nasty
stretches of water. They will im
mediately come under the devas
tating fire of the guns of -the
British home fleet and the land
batteries. They will be blasted
from above by the Royal Air
Force.
Trouble Ahead -
Along the English shores they
will encounter shallow waters
strewn with mines. On land will
I be 3,000.000 troops ready to
fight with the desperation of
men battling for their homes
and families.
It is a grim chance which
Hitler will take. He will be at
once risking a great army and
vast quantities of equipment,
and the cream of his all im
portant air force.
But loss of life won't stop the
Germans. Their strategy long
has provided that the end Justi
fies the means and has followed
the Napoleonic scheme of mass
attack breaking down the ene
my by sheer force of numbers,
irrespective of casualties. If and
when the Hitlcrian barges put
out to sea, they will carry what
will amount to suicide squads.

Furniture Trends
In Style Outlined
By Ray Carpenter
Ray Carpenter, of Montgom
ery Wards furniture deDart-
ment. has Just returned from
Portland where he attended a
meeting of Pacific coast furni
ture men on the latest styles
and trends in furniture.
"The big news this fall In
furniture is the remarkable rise
in popularity of the 18th cen
tury style," says Mr. Carpenter.
This 18th century style is not
new, for it has been a good
selling line of furniture since
there has been a furniture busi
ness. It dates back to the 18th
century when Chippendale.
Sheraton and Hepplewhite were
doing their work.
Up to very recently, however,
this type of furniture was made
only in the higher price ranges.
but not excellent suits in this
style are available In price
ranges so low as to be within
reach of even the most limited
budget. This is important news
to all style conscious people
who have up to now lacked the
means to satisfy their desires
for 18th century mahogany fur
niture. Another major trend pointed
out by Mr. Carpenter Is the
growth in popularity of early
California style furniture in
bedroom, dining room and liv
ing room groups. It is being
styled this fall along lines more
closely allied to colonial maple ington and Idaho leaving Port
than to the Spanish types which ,iand at 0 50 n. m. October lfl
characterized it when it was
known as Monterey furniture.
As a result, lines are more sim
ple and the growth of plain
rather than decorated finishes
follows naturally
The conventional m o d e r n
style, of course, still maintains previous to the meeting a de
its popularity. In bedroom and j ijRhtfu musical program was

Commission's Review of
Records Reveals $19,793
Spent General Aid Up
Total expenditures for wel
fare in Jackson county showed
an increase last month over
those of the previous month and
of August a year ago.
The towl last month was $19,
793.42 as compared with $19.
215.93 In August last year and
$19,750.37 in July.
These figures were part of
statistical records received to
day by the Jackson county pub
lic welfare commission at its
monthly meeting in city hall.
A. S. V. Carpenter, chairman,
presided.
General assistance cost $4,
043 57 last montn as against
$3,218.95 in August a year ago
and $4,153.87 in July. Number
ing 101, the cases of singles
receiving general assistance was
greater than ever before and
for the first time the average
grant to singles was higher than
that to families. Blanche Ly
man, administrator, told the
commission.
Increase Explained
The increase last month in
the general assistance category
was attributed to the cumula
tive effect of rendering this kind
of aid to persons who other
wise would be eligible for old
age assistance, continuance of
which was suspended about a
year ago. Increased expendi
tures last month were said to
result In part from higher med
ical costs.
Mrs. Lyman counseled that
more than ordinarily would be
expended this month because
provision must be made to take
car of new certified old age as
sistance cases for two months
as old age assistance checks for
October will not be available
until November 1 and no one
may receive both general and
old age assistance in the same
month. Therefore, she explain
ed, with old age assistance be
ing resumed in October, general
assistance provision must be
made this month to span the
two-month gap.
The commission was told that
there is general understanding
now that employable persons
cannot be given welfare assist

Seek CCC Quota
Mrs. Lyman stated that the
civilian conservation corps
quota for Oregon was not filled
this summer with the result that
two camps were abandoned. An
effort is now being made to
fill a new quota in the hope of
regaining the camps, she re
lated, and applications are now
being received at welfare com
mission headquarters in city
hall. There are only 17 applica
tions on file now whereas at
this time of year there used to
be 30 to 50, she said. It was
pointed out that the relief basis
of the CCC had undergone a
metamorphosis and that now it
was fundamentally an educa
tional agency. x
